Re: HP 5850 Printer Stops & Restarts every 5 minutes

I don't think it's your PC, and I do think it's probably time to contact HP.

Do you happen to have a cell phone? Does it emit a quiet beeping now and
then? Does this more or less coencide with the disconnect interval?
How about other wireless devices in your home?
If you have a wireless signal and connection monitoring module installed on
your computer, you may see it display a loss of connectivity that occurs
periodically, and coencides with the printer cycling.
